As a central regulator for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), controls the activation of ER-transmembrane signaling mechanisms by inducing unfolded protein response (UPR) in response to ER stress. Based on this premise, we investigated the mol. mechanisms of a synthetic quinolone derivative, 2-hexyl-3-methyl-4(1H)-quinolinone (HHQ-4), in regulating the GRP78 expression and UPR transcriptional program under glucose deprivation or 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG)-stressed conditions. We found that HHQ-4 suppressed the transcriptional and translational expression of GRP78 gene in glucose-deprived breast cancer cells. Constitutive expression of GRP78 completely prevented breast cancer cells from HHQ-4-mediated proliferation inhibition during glucose starvation, stressing the important role of suppression of the GRP78 in HHQ-4-mediated cell proliferation inhibition. HHQ-4 was also found to exert inhibitory activity against breast cancer cell proliferation by suppressing three survival arms of the UPR, including PERK/eIF2a/ATF4, IRE1/XBP1, and ATF6, which orchestrate an intricate signaling network to modulate GRP78 gene transcription under glucose-deprived stress. Our findings show HHQ-4 could be a promising candidate, alone or in combination with 2-DG, for selectively inhibiting breast cancer cell proliferation by down-regulating the transcription and expression of GRP78 under stressful microenvironments.
